in short, the ram was hanging halfway out, so i pushed it back in and the board got mad at me and stopped working, so i stripped it and tried every possible combination i could and nothing so i got really mad and took it out and threw it acrost my room, bouncing off my wall. now it works great. got it running just so i could 3dmark it and compare it to my laptop.
laptop: 2,000 3dmarks
desktop: 12,000 3dmarks.
it demolished it
